Representation in court may only be undertaken by a party on their own behalf (pro se) or by an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction or otherwise admitted to practice in that court (e.g., pro hac vice). Representation by any other person is a crime called "unauthorized practice of law".

Anyone other than an attorney, yourself, or some court appointed guardian for you would be committing the unauthorized practice of law.

What do you mean... an attorney should be sufficient to represent you. The way I understand it you can either have an attorney or represent youself (pro se) YOu can have other people their to support you though.

As some posters have said - no.
Even if you had a friend who was an attorney in another state, you could not ask this friend to represent you unless your friend was admitted to your state's bar.
Only an attorney admitted in your state's bar or yourself as pro se can represent you in a legal matter.

You can either represent your case yourself or you could be represented through an attorney.
